With
the current emphasis on internal security after
the mergers and layoffs in the financial sector,
Newton Security Inc. announces the use of its
T-DAR 3-Dimensional Machine Vision System to
prevent and detect unauthorized entry, tailgating
or piggybacking into secure areas
Seattle, WA October 27, 2008
Newton Security Inc., the world’s largest
manufacturer of machine vision single person
detection systems, announced today that the use of
its T-DAR system can prevent and detect tailgating
and piggybacking, two
of the most common methods used by
unauthorized persons to gain entry into secure
areas. With the present potential disruptions
created by the combination of different
organizations and the potential for disgruntled
employees or ex-employees to violate security, the
risk of data loss or system tampering has
increased exponentially. Since without tailgate
protection the access control system is unable to
detect violations, the need for the addition of
systems to protect valuable systems and data has
never been higher.
Tailgating is the act of an unauthorized person
slipping through a door into a protected area
after an authorized person. Piggybacking occurs
when an authorized person holds a protected door
open for another person that he or she knows or
perceives to have authorized access. Both acts
completely remove and circumvent the access
control system’s ability to reject a revoked or
counterfeit pass or badge and to prevent
unauthorized access to protected areas. In either
case, the access control system — whether equipped
with advanced biometrics or just a simple card
system — has no knowledge of entry by the
unauthorized person unless the
tailgating/piggybacking is detected.
For
doors, or other entrances, T-DAR’s sophisticated
stereo 3 Dimensional machine vision technology
constantly monitors and accurately detects the
number of persons attempting to enter or that are
present in a given area and reports violators with
direct video evidence to security. For the
prevention of tailgating/piggybacking, when
combined with a restricted area such as a mantrap,
the T-DAR system actually stops
tailgating/piggybacking and other unauthorized
entries. Additionally, combined with other devices
such as automatic immigration gates, security
revolving doors, portals or other restrictive
devices, Newton’s T-DAR technology guarantees that
only one person at a time will enter a secured
area.
Newton’s patented T-DAR technology has
successfully been deployed for more than seven
years in numerous applications around the world to
control and track access to restricted areas,
including airports, government installations, data
centres, secure research laboratories, financial
concerns, power plants, secure manufacturing
sites, unmanned immigration gates, security
revolving doors and virtually every other category
of secure areas.
